Book Excerpt

Natural Childbirth Exercise Essentials

Pelvic rock will strengthen and tone the muscles in the back and abdomen which will allow you to keep a straight spine and avoid back aches as the uterus pulls on the inside of your back. The uterus is attached by ligaments on the inside of your lower back. As it gets heavier with the baby’s growth you need to have very strong muscles in your back along the spine to maintain good posture.
